Pension legislation has become the

Pension legislation has become the
demagogue's chronic disease
A plan is on foot now in Congress to
saddle the whole country with a pension
law that shall provide for every soldier
who served three months, honorably dis
charged, and suffering from any indispo-
sition not incurred from vicious habits.
The next thing will be to pension the
brothers-in-law of suffers and women
who married soldiers that may have suf-
fered from toothache, contracted by ex-
exposure in the war.
OF course the conscript is on the same
footing with the volunteer and patriot.

residence, near Turin, as a hospital for poor

REVIEW.
New YORK, January BIN our letter yes
terday we made the remark that the coalers
would probably lead the market ere long,
and the way in which they have steadily adj =
vanced to-day, Jersey Central in particular
proves that our idea was pretty sound one;
Foreign business has been pretty quiet, and
for the time being we think we cannot De
pend on its becoming as active factor as 1t
was last fall Our advices from abroad, how
ever, tend to indicate TO us that, with any EN-
couragement from this side, renewed de-
mand for all good securities would come
from thence. -,
During the last hour stocks were wen
bought, and while, to a certain extent, the
advance may have been caused by shorts
covering. there seemed to be good buying OF
long stocks. We expect good market to-
morrow

REVIEW.
The wheat market has ruled weak and
lower to-day. decline of one cent being es
tablished. Chief feature TO cause break Was
report of rain on Pacific coast, thus dispell-
ing fears for safety of crops there. Foreign
markets were reported weaker, and this also
caused holders to sell freely.
Receipts are very light as consequence Of
bad weather, causing interruption in freight
traffic. Export trade is not SO heavy. We
can see nothing in the situation to depress
prices further, and on such breaks think pur-
chase will pay profits.
Corn quiet but lower in sympathy with
wheat. Close is at inside.
Provisions strong and higheral around on
light receipts of hogs. Close is at outside.

The Defense Makes n Pretty Strong Show
ing IN the Case of Hamilton.
KANSAS City, Jan. 5.-The day in the
Hamilton case at Wyandotte yesterday was
taken up in the Introduction OF witnesses
for the defense to prove that the wreck was
due to the bad condition of the track
Most Of the witnesses We're employees or
former employees of the Missouri Pacific
and Union Pacific roads, and, with
few exceptions, were Knights OF
Labor. A number of the witnesses
did not show up well on cross
examination, but On the whole the defense
made a strong showing. Each of the wit
nesses examined swore positively that the
track was in horrible condition. A peculiar
feature of the great strike which was devel-
oped by the cross-examination yesterday
was the fact that all of the guards examined
who had been stationed to protect the
property of the company in a knight of
Labor strike were Knights of Labor and
several of them had been given positions af-
terward on the Wyandotte police force by
Mayor Hannah, whose name was so IN
pleasantly connected with the first panel OF
jurors, which was thrown out by Judge
Hindman. 1t is probable that the defense
will close to-day and that the State will be-
grin the introduction of evidence in rebuttal

POISONED.
A Man With a Faithless Wife Drinks Poi
sOned Schnapps and Dies.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 5-Coroner Messemer
worked until midnight, trying to reach
some conclusion as to what killed Wendell
Jung, brewery workman, who died with
terrible pains and commissions, after drink
ing schnapps from bottle filled at Frank
Egan's saloon. Jung, who was seventy
two years old, lived with his wife at 401
East Fifty-fourth street. A little further
west, ON the opposite side of the street,
lived a son, William Jung, with his
wife, Celia. On New Years day Celia, in
obedience to her mothers orders, took q
bottle provided by William Jung and went
for some schnapps to Egan's saloon. When
the bottle came back it was put in a cup
board, and in the evening Celia brought out
the bottle to take drink. One taste of it
made her sick, and the bottle was put back.
About midnight the old man took a big
swallow, end Immediately was seized with
violent cramps. Two hours later he died.
Celia, Williams wife, had served for three
years in Billy McGlory's place as one of the
attractions. She was seventeen years old
and pretty, and Jung, after ceremony,
went to live with her in Mott street. He
soon discovered that she already had a hus-
band, whom she had married at the age Of
fourteen and by whom she had had u child.
This disturbed his peace of mind for time,
but he forgave her and all was quiet. Then
he found out that she continued to visit
McGlory's place. He reprimanded her and
she cried, and this led to q second pardon.
One day he came home and found
his wife bleeding profusely. She told
him that some one had stabbed
her. A few days later an Italian came into
his room during his absence and fred a pis-
tol several times. His wife again confessed
and William determined 10 move from a
neighborhood where his wife's admirers
were so thick. A few months ago he
hauled his household effects to 252 East
Fifty-fourth street. Celia promised to be
good in her new home but William soon dis
covered for the fourth time that his wife
was faithless. and it made him very mad.
A witness was found last night who in
formed the coroner that William had con-
fessed TO his friends, Donohue and Beher-
ems, that he had put poison in the schnapps
in order TO be rid of his wife.

last one until two p. IN, Tor the same pur-
pose. At the latter hour, when Judge Nor
mile took his seat, the court room was
crowded, the spectators filing the aislcs
and doorway. The grand jury filed In and
took their seats.
Gentlemen have you anything to re-
port., asked the court.
I'VE have three true bills to return" re-
sponded the foreman
The bills were handed to the judge, who,
after looking them over, dismissed the jury
One Of these was the joint indictments
against Frederick Wittrock, Thomas Wear
yer and William W. Haight, charging them
with larceny from a railroad car. IadIet-
ments charging them with robbery in tae
first degree were prepared Monday, but
the form was changed To the above, 90 that
there might be no difficulty in holding Mes
senger FOtheringham, for an indictment Of
robbery in the first degree would be an ad-
mission Of his innocence. At 2:l5 O'clock
the prisoners were brought from their cells
in the hoid-over into court and arraigned at
the bar.
III the court please said Mr.. Clover,
States attorney, 1.-The defendants in this case
desire to plead guilty to the charges in the
indictment"
The clerk then asked the defendants il
they had heard the charges. They replied
In the affirmative, and to the question rs 10
whether they were guilty or not guilty,
answered guilty"
The States attorney recommended that
the extreme penalty-seven years in the
penitentiary-be meted out to Wittrock
and Haight, and that Weaver be given five
years. The Judge then sentenced them
in accordance with the recommend
alton. W1ttrock and Haight took
their sentences stoically, the former re-
marking, "Wen, we have made our beds
and must lie in them but Weaver was
evidently affected. He can not reconcile
himself to the idea Of serving a sentence,
when Kinney, Moriarty and others who re-
ceived parts of the stolen moneS are al
lowed to go at liberty. After receiving
their sentences the prisoners were led back
to their cells, where they will remain I'M
til Tomorrow, when they will be taken to
the penitentiary at Jefferson City.

Wittrock Talks.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6-The express robbers
were not takendto the penitentiary yester-
day, as was expected they would be, but
they will be sent up to-day. In a brief in
terview yesterday Witsrock declared thac
he had especially stipulated with the detec-
tives that they would have to lift the mort
gage ON his mothers house before he would
't1rn up aRy of the stolen money.
This, he said, they promised to do, and
added that it was done when they went to
beavenworth, and thus his chief object in
robbing the express company was acconp-
hshed- The mortgage was fSr 81, 700. The
grand jury has found an indictment against
Dan Moriaricy, charging him with being an
accessory to the robbery, both before and
after the fact. He has not been arrested
yet and it Is said that he will not be prose-
cuted, as it was through information de-
rived from him that Wittroek and his pals
were arrested. 90
